About SK Soni Blood Bank & Blood Cancer

SK Soni Blood Bank is the largest blood bank in North Jaipur (Vidhyadhar Nagar, Jhotwara, Murlipura, Shastri Nagar etc.) established in 2005.

The blood bank offers all the latest technology in blood donation, blood collection, blood processing and blood transfer/issue. The Blood Bank is affiliated to Manipal Hospital and Soni Hospital, Jaipur both are N.A.B.H. accredited international standard health care hospitals. Therefore, the blood bank follows the highest standards in providing high quality blood components to patients. The bank also follows the standards established by National Blood Transfusion Council and Rajasthan State Blood Transfusion Council.

Patient Safety and High Quality

The Blood bank offers 4th generation ELISA serology test processing for every component in addition to ensuring that each donor undergoes Anti-Body (AB) screening. We do blood grouping by semi-automated cross-matching with gel technology minimizing the chance of transfusion reactions and blood group discrepancies. We also do daily, weekly, monthly QC (Quality Control) checks of reagents, components and equipment. We separate the blood components in Laminar flow enclosure to minimize cross-infection. We minimize blood wastage with sterile blood connecting device. For dengue cases, we provide Single Donor Platelets (SDP) processed from industry standard Fresenius-Kabi machines.

In summary, our blood bank provides high quality and safe blood for patients suffering from all illnesses like dengue, malaria, cardio-thoracic surgery patients, ICU patients and any other patients.

Manipal Hospital is the first and presently only hospital to offer bone-marrow transplant to Cancer patients. Because of our affiliation to Manipal Hospital, we ensure that Leuco-Depleted Component (LDC) and NAT tested blood is specifically available for patients coming to SK Soni Blood Bank.

About our organisation-SK Soni Charitable Trust

SK Soni Charitable Trust was established by our chairman Dr. Bimal Roy Soni in the memory of his father the Late Shri Surendra Kumar Soni (1925-2002). Late Shri S.K. Soni ji was the founder of Soni Hospitals and devoted his last years to providing health services to society. He convinced Dr. B.R. Soni come back from Canada in 1984 to establish Soni Hospital in 1986. He also arranged loans from notable Jaipur industrialists to finance the hospital.

Dr. Soni established SK Soni Blood Bank to ensure that high-quality blood services are available to the needy. Every minute one individual in Rajasthan needs a unit of blood component. Blood cannot be manufactured – it can only come from generous donors.

Accidents, premature babies, major surgeries require Whole blood, where your blood after testing is used directly. Trauma, Anemia, other surgeries requires only RBC, which is separated from your blood. The procedure of splitting blood components is called Cytapheresis. Similarly Platelets are used for Cancer patients undergoing Chemotherapy, Dengue fever, etc. Fresh frozen plasma is used for patients having massive Transfusions, Plasma is used for Burns and Cryoprecipitate is used for Hemophilia.

Blood is regulatory in hospitals and in times of emergency and can only be stored for a finite time. Red blood cells can be stored for approx. 42 days, Fresh Frozen Plasma and Cryoprecipitate for a year and platelets(RDP) for 5 days. Single Donor Platelets(SDP) cannot be stored for more than a few hours.

Organizing Blood Donation Camps

Organizing blood donation camps is the best method to fulfill the demand of blood. It is a way for everyone wants to contribute to society and save lives.

We welcome any initiative to organize camps and welcome you if your are interested. You, as a camp organizer, are giving everyone a chance to do so. Organize these camps regularly and bring smiles to many faces. 😊

The following steps are required to organize a blood donation camp:

Find a venue or location:
We can organize the camp in a college, hotel, corporate office and residential area. If you cannot find a properly ventilated location inside the building, we can also help you organize a camp outside in a bus/van

Confirm a date: We need a week's notice to organize a camp and the camp itself required 3-5 days of publicity-sometimes more.

Publicity and Communication:
the camp must be publicized in various ways possible- social media, online mailing, posters and standees. We have a collection of posters and standees, which will help you out in this process. We can also organize an awareness session if required.

Camp Day: We bring our trained technologists and nurses to organize the camp. But it is important to have local volunteers to coordinate. Together, before the start our staff and the volunteers shall help in arranging the venue. We will plan out the decorations such that the donor feels special while donating blood at the camp. There are also certain requirements on camp day such as water, electricity supply, tables, etc., which we will inform you beforehand. We shall also provide refreshments to all donors. All donors also get a card which can be used to get blood without replacement at the SK Soni Blood Bank

Post-Camp: If completed, Well done for organizing a blood damp successfully!!! But it is not yet over, we must reach out to all donors thanking them for donating blood and asking them for the feedback on the camp. This will help us judge how successful the camp was and what all needs to be worked upon for future blood donation camps.
